Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured three air-cooled chillers for its estate, covering the supply and delivery of cooling and ventilation equipment. The requirement is categorised as goods and the delivery location is in the South West of England. The procurement is titled Commons heat pump chillers, indicating that the equipment is intended for the university’s commons facilities. This opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, distributors, specialist heating, ventilation and air-conditioning suppliers, and facilities engineering businesses able to provide three air-cooled chiller units and arrange delivery to a university site. The buyer is Bath Spa University, based in Bath. The requirement concerns equipment supply rather than construction, installation or an ongoing maintenance service, so businesses should distinguish their capability accordingly when assessing comparable future requirements.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Bath Spa University used a limited procedure based on a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The tender deadline was 29 June 2024. The contract was awarded to Mannings Facilities Management Limited on 30 June 2024 for £74,680.80 including the published currency of GBP, with a contract period from 30 June 2024 to 30 July 2024. The award is active and covers the full requirement for three air-cooled chillers. The published suitability assessment indicates that the opportunity was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate quality or price weighting is stated in the procurement information.

This award provides a clear signal of Bath Spa University’s demand for commercial cooling equipment for its estate. A credible future supplier would need to source or manufacture three air-cooled chillers, understand chiller specifications and cooling-system requirements, and deliver equipment reliably to a university site in the South West. The previous route was a below-threshold competitive quotation, so suppliers seeking similar work should be able to respond efficiently to focused quotation exercises rather than relying only on large formal tenders. Relevant businesses include specialist HVAC equipment distributors, manufacturers and facilities-management companies with a substantial operational base. Evidence of dependable public-sector or institutional supply, delivery planning, product compliance and the capacity to fulfil a complete three-unit order would strengthen a comparable future proposition.
